UEFA have promised a decision on Russia's ambitious bid to host Euro 2028 "very soon" amid a backlash against the country following their illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Russian president Vladimir Putin opened hostilities against his country's neighbour just over a month ago. Widespread condemnation met the invasion from across the world, with many nations taking the decision to sanction those close to Putin.
Football clubs from Russia were also thrown out of European competitions the Europa League and Europa Conference League. Their national team had reached the play-off stage of World Cup qualifying, but with many countries refusing to play them, they were thrown out.
